Project to Milestones Wizard

CREATE PRESENTATION REPORTS FOR MICROSOFT OFFICE PROJECT

Make a Variety of Presentation Charts from your Microsoft Office Project files

    

The Connections tab on Milestones Professional and Milestones Project Companion’s toolbar offers easy access to all Microsoft Office Project options.

     
 

Choose Create Report from Project or Create Report from Project Server to start the Project to Milestones Wizard.

The Project to Milestones Wizard offers a visual representation of the schedule as it is created, allowing you to see the effects of the formatting choices you make in a dynamically updated screen.

Start off by choosing from one of the built-in formats or use your own custom chart to begin. Follow the prompts and watch as your Microsoft Office Project information is brought into a professional-looking Milestones schedule.

 

               

 

The Project to Milestones Wizard offers 11 categories:

· Gantt contains layouts suited to a basic Gantt schedule, including start and finish dates.   The Gantt step-by-step offers the most flexibility of all of the wizard formats.

· Stoplight formats offer several commonly used presentation red, yellow, green stoplight charts for easy management viewing of key indicators.

· Milestone charts show tasks with zero duration or finish dates only.

· Summary charts are condensed presentation formats.

· Choose one of the earned value formats and show an earned value graph along with your project schedule.

· Resource charts show work variance, resources and other data by task, often with a graph below the schedule.

· Status formats display current, remaining, or slipping tasks.

· Dashboard charts offer  several unique formats with the popular “dashboard” appearance and content.

· Coded Summary allows extra flexibility for the data imported by letting you code tasks in Microsoft Project.

· Special offers three formats which did not fall into one of the previous categories: Work remaining versus money remaining, percent complete bar graph, and finish variance.

· The Custom category is reserved for presentation formats you add.  When you find a presentation format you like, customize it with additional columns, and change other aspects.  Then add it to the custom category and it will appear on the menu.
